Thanks Kiwi Steve! I dig that joint! I really think it's cool how they cut out the Moon and put a light there to make it look like a real moon.

Here's another shot of the tiki-art they have at the "Markona Kiosk" on the board walk, just behind the Wyland Gallery, and in front of the Coffee Shop. Nice area to sit and watch the ocean.
They have my art as giclees on heavy paper 16" x 20" and the art cards, and magnets, and Calendars and all that kinda Tiki-Swag. If you are walking through old town Kona, it's a nice little place to browse.
If you go around the corner to the part facing Ali'i Drive , the front of the Wyland Gallery, this is the stuff they have up in the window area. The Gallery carries some originals, high end giclees on canvas, (same size as the original paintings), and the skate decks and more paper prints. I'm still getting a big thrill about being in such a usually main stream gallery. Kind of a introduction to a lot of folks coming off the tourist cruise ships to seeing "Tiki-Art" for the first time.
So, if you are on that Hawaii Cruise ship, or some how find yourself in Kailua Kona on the Big Island, stop by and take a look!

I was down at the Gallery today dropping off some special ordered giclee art prints - one of my very best...
The "Four Classic Monsters on Vacation"
Giclee on paper 16" x 20"
The monsters usually come only one to a sheet of 16" x 20", not all four (there was a very limited run like that) but those darned sweet talking art expert-o-reenos at the gallery can get me to special order any thing!
Lots of big Aloha to Jill and all the folks at the Wyland Gallery for their support.

jimsflies, Thanks , This was, I think the first painting where I really got that color of all red and orange with a cool hued foreground really as good as I could make it... well I guess an artist is never happy with something being "as good as it'll get" . I always try to make the next painting some how better. Don't know if I always do, but I certainly try. .

ART GICLEE ON PAPER
Tiki Cat
18" x 20"
Signed
Certificated
$150.00 plus $20 S & H (over seas please p message me for shipping $)
Printed on heavy Paper, with archival inks that resist fading even in a bright room. Museum quality - I've been told by a curator of a high end art gallery in LA that these are the highest quality giclee (art prints) he has even seen. The printer I use creates Giclees for Museums, and does all Herb Kane's work. (Kane is/was a famous Hawaiian Artist. He lived here on the big island as well, so used the best printer who was local. I was very happy when I found this guy. Been extremely happy with all his work.)
This piece became extremely popular a few years back here. Became the cover of the 2012 calendar, is now reproduced as art cards, birthday cards, post cards, etc, refrigerator magnets,and is basically the image most people know me by.
I have a strange feeling that this image will be selling in Hawaiian gift shops long after I am gone - along side the classic hula girl prints from the 30's.
Thanks for looking - ALOHA!

Kai Koa ~ Thanks! That really makes me feel good, hearing things like that lets me know this "Tiki-Art" path is headed to the right place. That is really one of my big goals in making my "Tiki-Art": making my little mark on Tiki Culture, and Pop-Culture, and Hawaiiana. Sure, being paid to make art is another big part. And, being paid to make TIKI ART is a real dream come true. Then, touching people's Tiki collections is a huge rush. Will I ever one day, a hundred years from now end up in some museum, I dunno, doubtful, but That would be cool. However, hanging in someone's home Tiki Bar is my ultimate right now.
Anywho, right now, I'm seeking to get THIS beautiful, museum quality Giclee into someone's home Tiki Bar!

Had to share this cool pic of a art patron purchase of all the monsters & Hawaii-Ween on Skate decks!
Here's what he sez:
"Our walls just got 5 times cooler! Please tell Abbas thank you for the killer deal on all 5 skate decks. Sending hardware to mount them was an added bonus. I can't wait to get these on the wall. Thanks again."

Big Mahalo for the patronage and Support! - I'm really pleased to know they are all up together in someone's Tiki Room!

If you are looking for something like this contact me - I take pay pal!

The owner of the Wyland Kona Ocean Front Gallery had this to say about the Body glove tiki-Mugs.
"I haven't seen this kind of anticipation and excitement for a 'low brow' collectable like this in my 17 years of being in the art business. The detail on these attractive (and 'scarey) Tiki Mugs is amazing. Advance phone orders are coming in everyday and they won't even hit the showroom until October and may even by sold out by Halloween. These Tiki Mugs are destine to be the next great collectable and the first in a series by Brad Tiki-shark Parker. Sure glad I got my order in "
Thanks Mark! I couldn't do fun projects like this without the support and aloha of you and your gallery.

So one of the high points of my Tiki-Artist career is the creation of a pieces to be assembled into a "2-D/3-D tiki-Art diorama/frame-job Tiki-Thing!".
"Diga-Diga-Doo" was a Tiki-Art painting, that was made into a giclee art print and two Tiki-Mugs.
This was a VERY rare, and swanky tiki-art display for a highly motivated tiki collector's home enchanted tiki room.
Just about impossible to find all the pieces now.
NOW... I created the Body Glove Sea Creature/60 Anniversary Tiki Mugs...
And, they were based on the Body Glove Sea Creature Tiki-Art Painting!
Soooo.... Here is another chance to create a very Super-Swanky 2-D & 3-D Tiki-Art display!
What do ya' think?
